RSL thumps United

Soccer Betting Lines

07/31/2010 - Sandy, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Second-half goals from Robbie Findley and Nelson Gonzalez propelled Real Salt Lake to a 3-0 win over D.C. United at Rio Tinto Stadium on Saturday.

Alvaro Saborio put Salt Lake in front after 13 minutes, while Findley doubled the lead in the 79th minute and Gonzalez scored his first goal of the season in stoppage time to cap the comfortable win.

RSL has now tasted defeat just once in its last 13 games, while United is winless in its last six and remains on the bottom of the Eastern Conference table.

Ned Grabavoy set up the opener when he slipped a pass into the penalty area for Saborio, who drove a low shot underneath D.C. goalkeeper Troy Perkins.

United tried to answer on the half-hour mark as Branko Boskovic tried to chip the ball over the head of goalkeeper Nick Rimando, and while the ball did clear Rimando, it also sailed narrowly over the crossbar.

The home side nearly doubled its lead with a long-range effort from Will Johnson that barely whistled past the crossbar, while the visitors had a chance to equalize in the 68th minute with a free kick 20 yards from goal.

Boskovic took the shot and curled it around the wall but saw it miss the upper-left corner by inches.

Findley put RLS up two goals 11 minutes later when he took a pass from Williams and again beat Perkins low, while the game was capped off in stoppage time by a beautiful chip from Gonzalez that left Perkins with no chance.

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm.

MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season .

''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.''

Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain.

He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday.

''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.''

Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia.

Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind.

With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
